update..picture I took off of Brooke's blog....married June 5, 2009! Congrats Brooke and Brandon
When Tommy was 3 we were in search of a place for him to learn how to swim...we were led to Swim with Kim, aka Kim Johnson's backyard and pool. We signed up and he had an awesome experience....here we are 9 years later and just finished another week of swim lessons for all 3 boys this past week. Kim and her daughters, Brooke, Kasey and Taylor have taught all 3 of the boys how to swim and I am SO grateful. It hasn't always been easy...Drew was NOT a fan of swimming so there were days of pulling him out from under tables, having Kim peel him off of me while he screamed and I ran out the gate, hiding in their bushes to watch Jack learn how to swim if he saw me he would run to me...we laugh about it all now. All of the boys have become strong swimmers, love to jump off their diving board, would go to Miss Kim's every week all summer if they could.
But in all sincerity we are most grateful. Learning how to swim is a BIG deal in our opinion. It has always been a HIGH priority in our house and there was never an option NOT to learn how. It is one of those things you have to know how to do in life! We recommend Swim with Kim to everyone who asks...we just feel so blessed that our boys have Kim and her family. They make it so much fun.
This week is a big week for the Johnsons...and it's hard to believe that 9 years have passed since we first met them. We are thinking of Johnson family today as they all are flying to Grand Cayman for Brooke and Brandon's wedding this Friday on the beach. The perfect place for a Johnson girl to get married... of course if you ask Scott he would say we have probably financed this entire wedding for them with 3 boys in multiple weeks of lessons for 9 years. :) He always has something quick witted to say. :) But I will have you know Kim ALSO taught Scott how to swim at 40 years old....so he has a special place in his heart for this family.
Congratulations Brooke and Brandon! Can't wait to celebrate at your reception with you! The only pics I could find were of Jack last summer...I will update pics after the reception or maybe I will hack one off of Brooke's blog from their wedding day.
